First provide a summary of the paper, and then address the following criteria: Quality, clarity, originality and significance. This paper proposes a version of labeled LDA that (1) supports multi-labeled data; (2) produces a label hierarchy. Comparisons with baselines on congressional bills shows improvements in perplexity as well as classification accuracy. The approach is a natural way to handle multi-labeled data, and the hierarchy inference approach appears sound. The paper is generally well-written, and the baseline comparisons are sufficient.

In this paper, we capture the dependence among the labels using a learned tree-structured hierarchy.

Learning a visual concept from a small number of positive examples is a significant challenge for machine learning algorithms. Current methods typically fail to find the appropriate level of generalization in a concept hierarchy for a given set of visual examples. Recent work in cognitive science on Bayesian models of generalization addresses this challenge, but prior results assumed that objects were perfectly recognized. We present an algorithm for learning visual concepts directly from images, using probabilistic predictions generated by visual classifiers as the input to a Bayesian generalization model. As no existing challenge data tests this paradigm, we collect and make available a new, large-scale dataset for visual concept learning using the ImageNet hierarchy as the source of possible concepts, with human annotators to provide ground truth labels as to whether a new image is an instance of each concept using a paradigm similar to that used in experiments studying word learning in children.

While topic models can discover patterns of word usage in large corpora, it is difficult to meld this unsupervised structure with noisy, human-provided labels, especially when the label space is large. In this paper, we present a model-Label to Hierarchy (L2H)-that can induce a hierarchy of user-generated labels and the topics associated with those labels from a set of multi-labeled documents. The model is robust enough to account for missing labels from untrained, disparate annotators and provide an interpretable summary of an otherwise unwieldy label set. We show empirically the effectiveness of L2H in predicting held-out words and labels for unseen documents.

Automating the extraction of concept hierarchies from free text is advantageous because manual generation is frequently labor- and resource-intensive. Free result, the whole procedure for concept hierarchy learning from free text entails several phases, including sentence-level text processing, sentence splitting, and tokenization. Lemmatization is after formal context analysis (FCA) to derive the pairings. Nevertheless, there could be a few uninteresting and incorrect pairings in the formal context. It may take a while to generate formal context; thus, size reduction formal context is necessary to weed out irrelevant and incorrect pairings to extract the concept lattice and hierarchies more quickly. This study aims to propose a framework for reducing formal context in extracting concept hierarchies from free text to reduce the ambiguity of the formal context. We achieve this by reducing the size of the formal context using a hybrid of a WordNet-based method and a frequency-based technique. Using 385 samples from the Wikipedia corpus and the suggested framework, tests are carried out to examine the reduced size of formal context, leading to concept lattice and concept hierarchy. With the help of concept lattice-invariants, the generated formal context lattice is compared to the normal one. In contrast to basic ones, the homomorphic between the resultant lattices retains up to 98% of the quality of the generating concept hierarchies, and the reduced concept lattice receives the structural connection of the standard one. Additionally, the new framework is compared to five baseline techniques to calculate the running time on random datasets with various densities. The findings demonstrate that, in various fill ratios, hybrid approaches of the proposed method outperform other indicated competing strategies in concept lattice performance.

Abstract--We propose a method to systematically represent both the static and the dynamic components of environments, i.e. objects and agents, as well as the changes that are happening in the environment, i.e. the actions and skills performed by agents. Our approach, the Concept Hierarchy, provides the necessary information for autonomous systems to represent environment states, perform action modeling and recognition, and plan the execution of tasks. Additionally, the hierarchical structure supports generalization and knowledge transfer to environments. We rigorously define tasks, actions, skills, and affordances that Figure 1: "How to transform the left environment into the right one?" enable human-understandable action and skill recognition. The knowledge in the Concept Hierarchy enables household robots to represent environments and to create a plan to execute tasks. Furthermore, there is no clear distinction between a task, an action, and a skill.

While topic models can discover patterns of word usage in large corpora, it is difficult to meld this unsupervised structure with noisy, human-provided labels, especially when the label space is large.

As deep neural networks are increasingly deployed in sensitive application domains, such as healthcare and security, it's necessary to understand what kind of sensitive information can be inferred from these models. Existing model-targeted attacks all assume the attacker has known the application domain or training data distribution, which plays an essential role in successful attacks. Can removing the domain information from model APIs protect models from these attacks? This paper studies this critical problem. Unfortunately, even with minimal knowledge, i.e., accessing the model as an unnamed function without leaking the meaning of input and output, the proposed adaptive domain inference attack (ADI) can still successfully estimate relevant subsets of training data. We show that the extracted relevant data can significantly improve, for instance, the performance of model-inversion attacks. Specifically, the ADI method utilizes a concept hierarchy built on top of a large collection of available public and private datasets and a novel algorithm to adaptively tune the likelihood of leaf concepts showing up in the unseen training data. The ADI attack not only extracts partial training data at the concept level, but also converges fast and requires much fewer target-model accesses than another domain inference attack, GDI.
